Great offer! for wheels

7/20/18 update: 2026 miles on these wheels and what can I say? I have nothing to complain about. The wheels are as real as the day I received them. There are no problems with spokes and hubs. The carbon fracture surface practically does not wear out. I'll buy another set when the time comes. I honestly see no reason NOT to buy this wheelset. The price couldn't be better compared to a set of "famous brand" wheels. Update 2/8/18: 808 miles at the time of this review. Not a single problem with this wheelset. I was very happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a set of carbon wheels. As with any product, there will always be exceptions, but so far I have nothing bad to say about them. Regarding the reviews showing delamination and failure, my question is whether we used the wrong brake pads. Pads MUST be for carbon wheels. Update 8/24/17: 458 miles on these wheels and no problems. My last major trip was a one day trip around Mount Rainier in 2017. alias (RAMROD) with over 10,000 meters of altitude difference, the journey also had many descents. In order to avoid brake pad squeaking, the correct adjustment of the brake pads is of the utmost importance! Mine don't make any noise. I am very happy with these wheels and feel the quality is the same if not better than some of the more expensive branded wheels. Not to discredit brand name wheels I think the price of these wheels is reasonable and if you want to try a carbon wheel you don't have to spend a small fortune. I will continue to update my experiences as I find it important to share information. Update 07/06/17: I've done 300 miles on wheels. Not as much as I would like, but a minor leg injury prevented me from skating. So far, however, no problems have been identified and the wheels are just as straight as when they started. One note though: yes, they squeaked when I first hit the brakes; actually it was annoying. Lucky for YouTube University, I found the right way to install brake pads. No more squeaking with slight toe-in. The actual difference is the thickness of the playing card measured at the back end of the brake. Seems to be working great. I'm doing two big rides this month. I'll post more when I've finished my travels. I have a 2012 Spcialized Tarmac Pro and my original wheels needed to be serviced and inspected. In the meantime I wanted to keep riding and looked for 700c carbon fiber bikes on Amazon for no reason and these super team bikes suit me. I was shocked to see they only cost around $350; Part of what compound bikes from other well-known brands sold for. I hesitated to read every published review. Of course, if you search the internet for Superteam bikes, you'll find the usual "Chinese-made junk, you get what you pay for, etc., etc., etc." Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, everyone does , who left negative comments on these wheels probably wrote it "made in China" using a phone or computer. Everything is made in China these days. However, I don't want to focus on that in this review. The wheels were packaged very well, very straight and I didn't see any issues with the carbon layup. In addition to all the reviews on Amazon, most of what I've read online has been positive to be honest. So without hesitation I ordered the kit and got the opportunity to ride my bike last Saturday. Rode 53 km and realized that I can't say anything negative about them at the moment. My buddy paid over $1200 for a set of BMC carbon wheels. do they last that long? Not sure what we'll see. So far this is a great opportunity to see what carbon wheels look and feel like at a fraction of the cost. Am I afraid of failure? No more than any other wheel. I'm also afraid of being hit from behind because I'm driving on the white line. Is that correct? I'm certainly not a professional racer, and I'm not a young shooter under 30. I'm 52 and just trying to go ahead and update my bike with something that works and won't break the bank. I also bought my bike used. It was 4 years old when I bought it and has done over 3500 miles since 2016. If a future review is warranted I will post it. As now I am satisfied with my purchase!๐Ÿ˜Š
